Aboard USS Tarawa (LHA 1), hospital corpsman Petty Officer 1st Class Cynthia Lehew and hospital corpsman Petty Officer 3rd Class Erik Martinez, both attached to 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, pack medical supplies for the people of Bangladesh. Amphibious assault ship Tarawa and embarked 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit are conducting humanitarian assistance/disaster relief efforts in response to the government of Bangladesh's request for assistance after Tropical Cyclone Sidr struck their southern coast Nov. 15. The storm killed over 3,000 people and has left several hundred thousand homeless. The Department of Defense effort is part of a larger United States response coordinated by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Agency for international Development.
